Bada-bum-bum… bum-bum-bum. The A-Team have returned with their second trailer on Apple, and it’s as full of guns, explosions and punches to the face as you might expect – though it contains nowhere near as much kababoom as the latest Expendables trailer released yesterday. You know, just saying. Please don’t hurt us, B.A.
Concentrating more on the crack commando unit’s ‘origin story’ (apparently they were sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit… or something), we see more of the characters talking than we did in the previous, tanks-flying-through-the-sky heavy trailer, as well as an amazing helicopter scene just at the end which looks the mutt’s proverbial nuts.
If we were going to pick holes, we’d bring up B.A.’s accent, which isn’t as deep or gruff as we’d like and we can’t quite tell whether Sharlto Copley has nailed the Murdock twang yet, but all in all, it looks like a reet good laff.
The whistling moment is a nice touch (or not, as it seems to have divided the office already – are these self-referential moments like this cool or just ‘totally lame’?) and, of course, we see B.A. expressing consternation about the possibility of being airborne… but were there any other classic A-Team tropes you were hoping for in the trailer? Answers on a postcard please. Or in the comment box below, preferably.
Also released with the trailer is a nice big poster, which you can check out below, apparently taken in a photo booth in Boots.**
**The A-Team is out on July 30.
